Comparison of the electrochemical reductions of Ru(II) complexes of dipyrido[3,2-a:2?3?c]phenazine and 10,12-dimethylpteridino[6,7-f][1,10]phenanthroline-11,13(10H,12H)-dione (an alloxazine analog) in aprotic and mixed aprotic/aqueous media

We obtained and compared voltammetric and coulometric data on the ligand-centered reductions of the complexes [(bpy)2RuII(dppz)]2+ (dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2?3?c]phenazine) and [(bpy)2RuII(pptd)]2+ (pptd = 10,12-dimethylpteridino[6,7-f][1,10]phenanthroline-11,13(10H,12H)-dione; an alloxazine analog) in both aprotic (DMSO) and protic (80 mol % H2O/DMSO pH ?.6) media. The (1e?/sup>) electrochemical behaviors in the aprotic environment were quite similar. However, in the protic media, the 2e?/sup> reduction for the dppz-complex showed very poor electrochemical reversibility compared to the pptd-complex.
